What we fix

The list on the fridge

Most of what a house needs is not one big job. It is fourteen small ones that each take twenty minutes and never make it to the top of anyone's weekend. We do those, and we do the bigger repairs too.

Doors, locks & windows

The door that sticks every summer and the lock you have to lift to turn.

  • Interior and exterior doors hung or rehung
  • Sticking doors planed, aligned and eased
  • Locks, deadbolts, handles and smart locks
  • Window sashes, screens and weatherstripping
  • Sliding and closet door tracks

Drywall, paint & finishing

Holes, cracks, scuffs and the patch the last person did badly.

  • Drywall holes and cracks patched and blended
  • Ceiling repairs and water-stain touch-ups
  • Interior painting, rooms or touch-ups
  • Caulking, trim, baseboard and crown
  • Wallpaper removal and wall prep

  • Shelving, floating shelves and brackets
  • Mirrors, artwork and gallery walls

  • Stair handrails and outdoor step rails
  • Lever handles in place of round knobs
  • Threshold ramps and trip hazards removed
  • Brighter lighting on stairs and landings

The whole list at once

Save them up. One visit, one handyman, one price for the lot.

  • Everything above, in a single booking
  • Half-day and full-day lists welcome
  • Move-in punch lists and closing repairs
  • Pre-sale fixes before photos are taken
  • Seasonal once-overs, inside and out

What we do not do, and we would rather say so now

No plumbing, no electrical, no HVAC, no gas, no structural work, and nothing that needs a permit or a licensed trade in the State of Georgia. If your job turns out to need one of those, we will tell you on the visit and point you at someone good rather than attempt it. It costs you nothing to find out.

Pricing

Priced properly, in person

We do not publish hourly rates, and we will not quote a number down the phone for a job nobody has looked at. Every home is different and every job is priced on its own. Here is exactly how that works.

First

We come and look

Your handyman visits at a time that suits you and reviews the work in front of you. The visit is free and there is nothing to sign.

Then

You get an exact price

Not a range, not an estimate that moves later. One number for the job, agreed before anything starts, and yours to think about.

And

We explain the method

Exactly how the job will be done, what it involves, how long it takes and what it will look like when it is finished.

After

We walk it with you

When the work is done we go through it together, in full, before we leave. The price you agreed is the price you pay.

No hourly meter. No call-out fee. No number that changes once we are inside. The price we agree is the price you pay.

The Nook Promise

Four things, every job, or you do not pay for it. The visit is free. The price is agreed in writing before we start and does not move. We walk the finished work with you and put right anything that is not right, there and then. And if you find something in the following seven days, we come back. No forms, no deadline argument, and you should never have to leave a bad review to get our attention.

Who we are

Who is coming into your house

It is the only question that really matters when you book a stranger to work in your home, so here is a straight answer rather than an adjective.

n
Nook is run from Alpharetta, GA

A small local business, not a call centre

Nook is based in Alpharetta and run by people who live in these three cities. We already clean homes here, which is how the handyman side started: our cleaning customers kept asking who they should call about the door that sticks and the shelf that never went up.

The work itself is done by experienced tradespeople who work with Nook. They are not a pool of strangers pulled off an app. Every one of them is chosen by us, meets the standard below, and arrives as Nook. You deal with us from the first call to the final walkthrough, and if anything goes wrong you come to us, not to them.

  • Interviewed in person, by usNot a phone screen and not a form. We meet everyone before they meet you.
  • Background checkedA criminal background check on every person before their first job, no exceptions.
  • Their own insurance, checked annuallyEvery handyman carries their own liability cover, and we see the certificate rather than take their word for it.
  • Years in the trade, not a side hustleWe hire people who have done this for a living. References taken up and actually called.
  • Trained on The Nook PromiseHow we price, how we protect your floors, how we walk the job with you at the end.
  • Their own tools and transportNobody turns up needing to borrow a ladder or run to the store on your time.

How it works

Four steps, no phone tag

01

Tell us what needs doing

Fill in the form with the jobs on your list. Two minutes, no detail too small, and photographs help if you have them.

02

Your handyman visits

We come out free of charge at a time that suits you, look at the work properly, and give you one exact price for the job.

03

The work gets done

Often the same visit for smaller jobs, or booked in for a day that suits. Your handyman brings their own tools and materials.

04

We go through it together

Every job ends with a walkthrough. We show you what was done and how, put right anything that needs it, then you pay the agreed price.

The nook standard
The name

Why "Nook"

A nook is the part of a house nobody photographs. The corner behind the door, the gap beside the fridge, the shelf above the cabinets. It is also where the jobs pile up, because nobody is checking and nothing is urgent until it is.

So that is the standard we named ourselves after. The small things get done, properly, by someone who tells you what they are doing and why. Not a rushed patch you will be looking at for five years. Done right, whether you are watching or not.

  • Vetted & insured

    Experienced tradespeople, interviewed in person, background-checked, and carrying their own insurance before a single job.

  • The same handyman

    Wherever we can, you get the same person each time, so they learn your house instead of relearning it.

  • Before we leave

    Every job ends with a walkthrough. We go round with you, explain what we did, and put right anything that needs it there and then.

  • Locally owned

    Based in Alpharetta, run by people who live where you live. The same Nook that cleans homes here.

Agents & property managers

Punch lists, closings and turnovers

A buyer’s inspection comes back with eleven items and the closing is in nine days. That is the job we are built for: one visit, one price for the whole list, one person to chase, and photographs of everything finished so you can send them straight on.

  • Inspection punch lists priced as one number, not eleven
  • Pre-listing fixes done before the photographer arrives
  • Tenant turnovers between move-out and move-in
  • Photographs of completed work, sent the same day
  • One contact, one invoice, and a straight answer on timing
For agents & property managers Call (770) 555-0147

Working to a closing date?

  • We will tell you honestly whether the date is achievable
  • If it is not, we say so on the call rather than on the day
  • Deadline jobs get scheduled first, not squeezed in

Questions

Before you book

Why won’t you give me a price over the phone?

Because a price given without seeing the work is a guess, and a guess has to change once we are standing in front of the job. That is the single most common complaint about handyman companies, and we would rather not build a business on it. The visit costs you nothing, and you get one exact number for the job before anything starts.

Can I just call you?

Please do. (770) 555-0147, or text the same number if that is easier. If we are on a job and cannot pick up, you get a call back the same business day, every time. That is a promise rather than a hope, and it is the single most common thing people complain about with handyman companies.

Is the visit really free?

Yes. No call-out fee, no diagnostic charge, no deposit, and no obligation to go ahead. If you do not like the price, or you decide not to bother, you owe us nothing and we will not chase you.

Can the job be done on the same visit?

Often, yes. If it is a short job and your handyman has the materials on the van, they can price it and do it there and then. Larger jobs, or anything needing specific parts, get booked for a day that suits you once you have approved the price.

Can the price change once you have started?

The agreed price does not change for the job we agreed. If we open something up and find a genuine problem underneath, rotten timber behind a board, for example, we stop, show you, and price that separately before touching it. You decide. We will never add work to your bill without your say-so.

What exactly won’t you take on?

No plumbing, no electrical, no HVAC, no gas, no structural work, and nothing requiring a permit or a licensed trade in Georgia. Some of that we could technically attempt, and plenty of handymen do. We would rather tell you honestly on the visit and recommend someone who does it properly for a living.

Who will actually turn up at my house?

An experienced tradesperson who works with Nook, interviewed in person, background-checked, insured, and carrying their own tools and transport. They arrive as Nook, they work to our standard, and you deal with us throughout. Wherever the calendar allows, you get the same person on repeat visits.

Do you do grab bars and stair rails for an older parent?

Yes, and it is work we take particularly seriously. A grab bar is only as good as what it is fixed into, so ours go into studs or proper blocking, never into drywall anchors alone, and we will tell you if a wall needs opening up to do it correctly. We also do stair and step handrails, lever handles in place of round knobs, threshold ramps and better lighting on stairs. If you are arranging this for a parent and cannot be there, we are happy to walk the job with you by phone.

Do you supply the materials?

Yes, unless you would rather supply them yourself, which is completely fine. Materials are itemised in your price up front, at cost plus a modest handling charge that is shown to you rather than buried. If you have already bought the parts, we will happily fit them.

What time will you arrive, and do I need to be home?

You get an arrival window, not a whole day, and a message when your handyman is on the way. For the free visit you do need to be there, because pricing the job properly means walking it with you. For the work itself, plenty of people leave entry instructions and get on with their day.

What if something isn’t right?

Every job ends with a walkthrough. We go round with you, explain what was done, and put right anything that needs it before we leave. If you spot something afterwards, tell us within seven days and we will come back and fix it. No forms, no arguing about a deadline, and you should not have to leave a bad review to get our attention.

What happens if something gets damaged?

You hear it from us before you find it. If we damage something you will know that day, with a photo. We repair or replace it, and for anything substantial we give you our insurer’s details without you having to ask twice.

Are you insured, and what does that actually cover?

Nook carries general liability insurance, and every handyman working with us carries their own as well. Ask and we will email the certificate before your first visit rather than after something goes wrong. Worth knowing the difference, because most companies run the two words together: liability insurance covers accidental damage and injury, while a bond is a separate product covering theft, and many bonds only pay out after a criminal conviction.

Do you clean up afterwards?

Always. Dust sheets down before we start, debris and offcuts taken away with us, and the room left as we found it. We also run a home cleaning business in these same three cities, so we are not going to be the people who leave drywall dust on your floor.

Am I tied into anything?

No. No membership, no monthly fee, no minimum spend, no contract and nothing to cancel. You book a job, we price it, you decide. That is the whole arrangement.
